Quick recipe. Made a second batch of this today. Reminds me of
I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.

Get about a kilo of very ripe peaches. Plunge them into boiling water for about a couple of minutes and then into cold. The skin should just rub off. Try not to think about eyeballs.
Chop into pieces and put in a pan. Add the best part of a kilo of jam sugar. And as many raspberries as you can pick but somewhere between 500g and 700g if poss.
Boil it up and let it boil furiously but not so furiously that it boils over and you spend the next week cleaning burnt sugar off your aga.
Put into sterilised jam jars.
Absolutely yummy.
